Episode notes

Even if you walk your way up the income spectrum, about half of them are in a single target date fund. Most people should be saving between 12 and 15%. If you throw in the employer match, according to Vanguard, the median person is saving about 10%.

When interest rates rise, investors are supposed to move to safer assets.

(00:14) Jim Gillies and Ricky Mulvey discuss:

- Medpace shares hitting an all time high. - If investors should prepare for a market correction during a "dopamine fiesta". - The bull case for air bags and seatbelts.

Plus, (16:37) Robert Brokamp takes a look at how Americans are saving for retirement, and how to make better use of a 401(k).
